Microfiber drying cloth suggestions?

[Abirud]

This is probably a very basic question, but I feel like I’m wasting a lot of time with my microfiber cloths. It takes me way too long to dry. I’m starting to think mine might be inferior. Does anyone have any recommendations? Or maybe it’s the cleaner I use. Any recommendations on that?

Use compressed air or a blower first. I literally can dry my car with maybe 2 normal microfibers at most.

Large waffle weave towels do the trick.check out Dallas Paint and Correction on you tube has a big selection. He’s also got very good tips since he’s a long time auto detailer as well.

Get an electric leaf blower to remove most of the water , start at the roof and work down , then micro fibe, then a quick spray of instant detailer .always looks great

Tried to get one from Repco sale on the weekend but ALL stores were sold out.

Bought this today for $4 from Kmart. Had been using large waffle weave cloths before but they are starting to get a bit thin.

Aw, you guys are from Australia. Way too expensive to ship here to the US! Any more affordable suggestions for Americans?

Full price for a Bowdens Own Big Green Sucker cloth is AUD $39.99, expensive but worth it, but of course, wait for the specials like i did, bought one from Autobarn on special, and one from Repco on special , i have two now because i found when one gets totally wet , even if you squeeze the water out of it, it's still wet and starts to make wets lines, at that point i use the second Big Green Sucker cloth, that's just me, one may be fine for you?

Bowdens Own is 100% Australian owned and 100% Australian product, sounds like Bowdens Own is not available in the US ?

Believe it or not but Kmart sell a super size thick microfibre cloth which soaks up the water well.

Chemical Guys have them, pricey tho in Oz.

I buy the giant pack of microfiber towels from Costco, great value and they work fine for me
